There are about 8 entries that are of only part of a flower. You can see most other entries were careful to see that the whole flower was depicted. The rules say that parts of flowers will be disqualified. If they were, then 8 others would be able to enter.

Linear properties of reflection ? The reflection looks correct to me. A reflection will not be a symetrical image but in this instance it will be a view from lower down from the water surface. That is why the top of the mast on the right in the reflection sits in a vertically shifted backdrop. Also on the left there is no reflection of the car park. Perfectly correct. From the advantage point of the camera you can see over the bank onto the carpark, but from the water surface you cannot see over the bank into the car park. Beautiful photo map1273 !
